A:AnswerAs far as I have seen with it only does auto focus, there's no buttons for manual, if you want manual focus I believe a DSLR is your best bet . I wish I could manual focus since I use it for YouTube drawing and sometimes it focuses on my hand instead of the paper

A:AnswerThe Data Code or date/time stamp can only be seen when the videos are played back in the camera. This information will also show up when the camera is connected to a TV or external monitor. This information is also saved in the EXIF data of the video and can be accessed by opening the properties of the file. The date/time will not be displayed when the file is transferred.
A:AnswerHi Jay62, You cannot use an app to control this camcorder. You may use an RM-VPR1 remote control instead: http://support.d-imaging.sony.co.jp/www/cscs/accessories/compatibility.php?area=gb&lang=en&mdl=HDR-CX440&cat=31
